How many more ways are Cleveland Police going to shoot themselves in the foot and further alienate themselves from the poorly served public? I refer of course to the story (Pulled Over For A Faulty Light, 18.3.05)

Regardless of whether the brake light on the ambulance was working, surely there must be a better way of informing our most loved and least rewarded emergency service that one of its vehicles has a minor fault.

Do police units pull other police units up while on duty to inform them of defective vehicles? I very much doubt it.

Come on, boys and girls, get back to doing the job we the public would like you to do and which we pay you to do - catching criminals.
